How to clone or run your project on local machine by cloning/connecting to Linode Server. what are requirements need to be installed on your Machine.

[chaitan]

Hi every one,

I am hired as a Python/Django Developer. My company has deployed its Django application into LINODE  Server. I have experience using the Heroku server, 

but Pretty much new to this Linode server, have no clue about this. I want to run/Connect to project to that server to run locally on my machine.

I have access my GIT repo of project and cloned to my machine(windows), 

What are the requirements needed to run locally? What is the appropriate question to ask my Manager to get it done?

Please share any links/process to it.

Thanks in Advance.

It must have a requirements.txt , so run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Next run all django stuff (manage.py makemigrations, manage.py migrate, manage.py runserver) 

if requirements.txt isnt in the git repo, you can do it running manage.py runserver and watching every error it throws and installing the missing packages or loggin in the server, making the requirements.txt and pushing to the repo.

Dont think linode as a new thing, its just a server, like any others.

Yes, You are correct. It has nothing to do with the server when I cloned it from Git. I did follow your Process but the Django app consists of multiple settings files for Production, Development, and Test.

I configured my own settings file and try to run the command 

Python manage.py runserver --settings=settings_sai 

Error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'settings_dev_sai'

This is my settings.py file
